first ever concert i went to was rolling stones steel wheels tour at shea stadium with my parents in 89. i was 13 and i thought it was the best concert i'll ever see because of the size. now that i'm 31 i enjoy the smaller venues more than the stadium or arena concerts where the audio systems are lot worse and the sound starts to fly away instead of being trapped in a small room.

best concert ever nirvana new music seminar roseland ballroom in 93 before in utero was released. i even managed to see their unplugged songs 3 months before mtv unplugged.

 

I used to go to a lot of shows when bands like Thursday, Thrice, TBS, BTBAM, and a bunch of others were really good. Then MTV got a hold of those bands and 14 year olds started showing up with bandannas on their faces and pants tighter than my socks, so I stopped. The music was great, the times were great, but I can't stand watching random girls my sisters' age "mosh" (and by mosh I mean bounce off each other) and then talk about how xhardxcorex and straightxxxedgexangelxxxabcxxx they are.

 

go see a Foo Fighters show. you'll lose your voice 5min in. Dave Grohl just makes it feel like hes playing the show in your living room.

 

pass on that one even if somone gave me backstage passes. i bought the first foo fighters album when it first came out but haven't liked any of his solo stuff. no wonder Kurt never allowed any of his songs on the record.

 

there are/were many bands that can put on 2+ continuous hours of singles.

also, have u ever gone to see a techno concert? i can guarantee you ever single person is loving every minute.

 

um, Foo Fighters has always been Dave Grohl. he played every instrument on the first album, and then found taylor hawkins and the rest of the band. hes never been "solo".

youre telling me that you dont like:

Everlong
Hero
Learn to fly
Aurora
febuary stars
Best of you
DOA
Monkey wrench
times like these
in your honor

ect....

 

The only Foo Fighters song I've ever really liked was "Everlong". "My Hero" was okay as was "Monkey Wrench" but for the most part, they just don't do it for me. I liked the lo-fi production of their first album (although I didn't really like the music) but everything else is just too slick. I like it when records are produced to sound closer to live music, with warts and all. I hate "Learn to Fly" with a passion and the "is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?" song makes me want to hang myself.

dyhppy, maybe you're just not really into the music as much as the other people at the show. The reason it may sound like the cheering gets louder when the radio hits get played is because all of the people like you who only go to see the "good stuff" only react when the "good stuff" begins.

 

My Sister in Law has probably been to 80 to 90% of all Foo concerts. Almost sounds like a stalker to me.

 

There is nothing wrong with pits... I've been to maybe 2 shows where you couldn't easily avoid them if you wanted.
